Started to check data.


Found 3 videos that don't appear to be in the system. Can't see why they are different to others that are catalogued.


My library card scans


All other titles scanned well, but belonged to McAuley branch. Somehow I must have been in Library branch. Need to find how
to move between branches or make McAuley the default.


49609 check if this is on Infocentre


If we reuse a number do previous borrowings stay attached to this number, e.g. Hannah Guy

Program not working, not sure if it is due to system overload this morning

all day
Notes field is reduced, some ISBNs haven't transferred, problems with place of publication


Conversation with Tony - resources that are missing have been found, notes field has been cut of at 255 characters from Infocentre
ISBNs will strip out the spaces (need to check this), asked about capital letters to see if they can be changed in the subjects (I hate these)
Place of publication will probably missing - issues with this

Set up Zcataloguing with SCIS, sent for username and password for British Library, played with various settings, added search URLs

Organise another MARC export for Tony just in case we need it later. Current one only runs half way through.
